Police said the officers were called to the 3700 block of Montgall Avenue about 7:50 a.m. by neighbors who saw a man standing on the porch of a home that they didn't think belonged there.

Police said the officers found out the man had outstanding warrants, and when they tried to take him into custody, there was a struggle.

Authorities told KMBC's Brenda Washington that it was basically a wrestling match that went down steps from the home and continued across the street.

Prosecutors said Emanuel Henderson, 42, has been charged with robbery, two accounts of assault on a law enforcement officer, a misdemeanor count of interfering with or resisting arrest and armed criminal action.

Prosecutors asked that his bail be set at $100,000.

The police department said in a tweet Thursday afternoon that the officers were released from the hospitals after being treated for mild concussions and soreness.
